Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
“You’ve ruined an entertaining sight I haven’t seen in a long time, Alicia.”
“Brother.”
Adrian’s words were directed at Alicia, yet his eyes rested on Bilal and Riley, the two men.
Only then did the two realize Adrian had also been inside the carriage, and hurriedly bowed their heads.
“We greet His Highness Adrian.”
“We greet His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Pretending not to hear their greetings, Adrian stepped silently from the carriage and reached his hand toward Alicia.
With a slightly annoyed glance, Alicia took her brother’s hand and stepped out of the carriage.
It was only after she had smoothed out her wrinkled clothes that Adrian turned his gaze toward the two men.
Gently taking Alicia’s hand again to pull her close, he smiled and said,
“The Second Prince of Tirione boasted that his overflowing confidence was something to be proud of—but he should remember that such an attitude can sometimes become a flaw.”
Since Alicia had pointed out Riley’s mistake, it fell to Adrian to address Bilal’s.
Hearing Adrian’s words, Bilal realized his own error and bowed his head.
Though his status was that of a prince, it was certainly unwise to display a quarrel with a noble of Eregorn while the Imperial Crown Prince watched and listened.
Of course, given the difference in status between Bilal and Riley, such behavior couldn’t strictly be called impolite—but if someone wanted to find fault, there was certainly room to do so.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
